Lighting the way forward

First spotted at the newly re-done domestic airport lounge in Johannesburg, these Tom Dixon pendant lights are fast starting to appear in kitchens, dining rooms and entrance halls of homes in most publications.

With precious metals trending as a decor accent, the gold interior of these lamps not only help to create a warm glow, but also offer a wonderful contrast against their matt black or white exteriors.

What I like about the trend is that firstly you can mix and match the various designs, or repeat the same pendant, as well as being able to vary the hight of the lamps to create different effects.
